Destino/ Destinations. Travels are the best school, used to say my grandmother, and Jorge Ameer is one director who's always traveling to tell us stories about the way places have an influence over our fates. In Spanish the world destination is similar to the one we use for fate (destino), and I'm sure it has been noticed by the director, who's fluent in both languages. However, these both words seem to have been taken seriously by him: in THE HOUSE OF ADAM, the mentioned house has a secret that defines its principal character. In THE SINGING FOREST, a supernatural experience links all if his characters to the Nazi Germany, and in SABOR TROPICAL, a travel is about to change the life of its main characters forever: what's nice and soft at the beginnings is transformed to a hard ending. With a beautiful performance of fantastic actor Matthew Litch (better known as the actor form the film AKA), SABOR TROPICAL is a bittersweet story of loneliness, desperation, and deception. A video diary that it's half a cautionary tale, half an ego trip, mixed with hot explicit sex scenes. It's the best film Jorge Ameer has brought us to his audience yet, and certainly a great love letter to Panamá's carnival!
